Keywords:
Self-Stigma, Drug Used PersonsAbstract
This quasi-experimental research aimed to compare 1) The self-stigma of the drug users before and after completed the Self-stigma Reduction Program (SRP) and one month after completed the program 2) the self-stigma of the drug users who received the SRP and who received the usual care at one month after completed the program. The study was conducted in 46 injection drug users at the Drop in Center in Bangkok Metropolis. Randomly assigned 25 subjects into the SRP. The control group was 25 subjects. Research Instruments included the SRP, Self-Stigma Scale, and Self-Esteem Scale. The data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and t-test. The results were as follows: 1) the self-stigma of the drug users after and one month after completed the SRP were lower than before with the statistically significant .05 level 2) the self-stigma of the drug users who received the SRP were lower than who received the usual care at one month after completed the program with the statistically significant .05 level. The next research recommendation should be to study the effectiveness of the program in the population with other mental health problems. The program is constantly monitored and evaluated in order to guide the development of the program more effectively.
